Hear, hear. Coincidentally, I just happened to have ordered "Music for Two" the other day, and it should arrive any day now. If you like the classical-music-transcribed-into-non-classical-stringed-instruments thing (whew!), you should also check out Bela Fleck's "Perpetual Motion". He takes a bunch of classical compositions and performs them on banjo, with guest accompanists, and it's a wonderful listen. Bela's performance of Paganini's "Perpetuo Moto" is just jaw-dropping. Makes my fingers hurt just listening to it. > I too am younger than most here (24...I know I sound like an old man!). Sweet!

[Translators note: I've taken the liberty of rendering it more as prose than as verse. Since I originally conceived the song as a letter, there's some context for this. Besides, to my ear it just sounds better this way in english.] Cancion Sencilla (Simple Song) My love, I'm sorry not to have written you sooner. Although I always wanted to, the truth is that I couldn't. What can I say? I'm a little slow. It took me all these years to learn your beautiful language - and still it isn't enough. So I offer you my first attempt: a simple song which says only that I love you. Already problems present themselves: your reflexive pronouns, your accords, your accents - not to mention your subjunctive, that fascinating, impenetrable, esoteric mystery. But, for the moment I don't need to use it. My love is so certain. (Chorus) I hope that we may pass our nights whispering, conjugating your verbs. Let's begin, you have so many: I live, you live, we will live; I love, you love, we will love; to leave, to return, to stay; and, of course to whisper, I love you. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 13:01:29 EDT From: Patience9@aol.com Subject: [RS] signature sounds I happened to be on Signature Sounds website and I guess they are not selling Richard's new CD, did he switch to someone new? ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Aug 2004 00:31:48 +0100 From: "Alan Teather" Subject: Re: [RS] Vuelta Review test www.candleicious.biz The home of scented candles Do not be confused about similar copy names to ours.

(3 listens since I bought it at 2 pm.) Secondly, his acoutsic guitar is crisp, clear, and trhe melodies it plays are very beautiful. And Puente Celeste is full of great musicians. I also like how the influenmce is definietly there(and adds so much to many tracks) but it recorded in a way that complements Richard but dopesnt overshawdow him. I would have been dissipointed if it sounded like the Buena Vista Social Club.... > > "Fenario" is a great opening track...full of energy and a great song...much more impressive on album with the band than the one time I heard it live. "Big Muddy" goes very nice with it....and it's one great cover of one of my favorite songs. Many recent [protest songs are too heavy handed for my taste, but this Seeger tune is one hell of a song. The album gets slower for "The Island" and "Hazel's House" and both are very nice and have beautiful guitar parts. > > "Che Guevera Shirt" blew me away the one time I heard it live and it did on album too. the spanish number is very pretty. "There Goes mavis" I just love....the band is perfect for it. "So Says the Whipporell" also wonderful. I think Che, Mavis, and Whipporell rank up there are three of his better songs. I like "Last Fare of the Day" just not the way otehrs do but a good track and "Gray Green" is a very nice closer. > > So I love it all ways possible!
